Current report
In August 2025, the FDA extended the target action dates for the Company's FDA applications for EYLEA HD (pre-filled syringe, every-four-week dosing, and for the treatment of RVO). The delay resulted from observations from a July 2025 FDA general site inspection (not specific to EYLEA HD) at Catalent Indiana, LLC ("Catalent"), part of Novo Nordisk A/S, the manufacturing filler in the EYLEA HD BLA. The FDA extended the review periods after determining that the information submitted by the manufacturing filler in August 2025 to address the observations constituted a major amendment to each regulatory application.
Current report
In October 2025, the Company was notified by Catalent that they received an official action indicated ("OAI") letter from the FDA citing unresolved issues related to a July 2025 FDA general site inspection. On October 27, 2025, the FDA issued a CRL for the pre-filled syringe sBLA. The sole approvability issue cited in the CRL relates to unresolved inspection findings at Catalent. The Company is planning to submit by January 2026 an application to include a new pre-filled syringe manufacturing filler in the EYLEA HD BLA.
Current report
In addition, the Company has submitted an application to include an additional vial filler, should this be needed for approval of every-four-week dosing and RVO label enhancements, with an FDA decision regarding this new vial filler expected by late December 2025.
Current report
The decrease in our share of profits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, was driven by lower profits associated with a decrease in EYLEA sales outside the United States.
Current report
Operating expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $237.0 million and $225.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $744.4 million and $678.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $125.1 million and $123.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $405.1 million and $369.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous report
In April 2025, the FDA issued a CRL regarding the sBLA for the addition of extended dosing intervals. The FDA indicated that the submitted data did not support extended dosing intervals greater than every 16 weeks. The Company is evaluating next steps.
Previous report
The FDA issued a CRL for the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe in April 2025, and the FDA subsequently accepted the Company's resubmission of its regulatory application for the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe.
Previous report
However, the Company now expects regulatory approvals to be delayed for its currently pending FDA applications for EYLEA HD (pre-filled syringe, every-four-week dosing, and for the treatment of macular edema following retinal vein occlusion), which have PDUFA dates in August 2025. The anticipated delay is related to observations from an FDA general site inspection at the filler for EYLEA HD in these regulatory applications, Catalent Indiana LLC (recently acquired by Novo Nordisk A/S). This inspection was completed in mid-July and was not specific to EYLEA HD. Based on the Company's review of the observations and Novo's proposed response to the FDA, along with the progress the Company has made with alternate third-party fillers, the Company anticipates an expeditious resolution of the filling issues for EYLEA HD.

In May 2025, the Company and Sanofi announced that a Phase 3 trial, AERIFY-1, in adults who were former smokers with inadequately controlled COPD met the primary endpoint of significantly reducing moderate or severe acute exacerbations by 27% compared to placebo at week 52, a clinically meaningful benefit. A second Phase 3 trial, AERIFY-2, did not meet the same primary endpoint, although a benefit was seen earlier in the trial. The safety profile of itepekimab observed in the Phase 3 trials was consistent with prior clinical trials. The Company and Sanofi are reviewing the data and will discuss with regulatory authorities to evaluate next steps.

In April 2025, a pre-planned interim analysis was conducted on two ongoing Phase 2/3 studies evaluating the combination of fianlimab and cemiplimab in first-line advanced NSCLC. Due to limited follow-up, the Phase 2 portion of the studies will continue unchanged until additional data are available. The next analyses for these studies are expected in the first quarter of 2026, at which time a decision whether to advance to Phase 3 is expected to be made. No new safety signals were observed in either study.

We are collaborating with Sanofi on the global development and commercialization of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab (the "Antibody Collaboration"). Under the terms of the Antibody Collaboration, Sanofi is generally responsible for funding 80% to 100% of agreed-upon development costs. We are obligated to reimburse Sanofi for 30% to 50% of development expenses that were funded by Sanofi based on our share of collaboration profits; however, we are only required to apply 20% of our share of profits from the collaboration each calendar quarter to reimburse Sanofi for these development expenses. As of June 30, 2025, the total amount of our contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi (i.e., "development balance") in connection with such development expenses was approximately $1.2 billion.

In July 2025, our license agreement with Hansoh Pharmaceuticals Group Company Limited to acquire development and commercial rights outside of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau for HS-20094 (a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist currently in Phase 3 clinical development in China) became effective. In-licensing a late-stage GLP1/GIP agonist enables us to study combinations with our products and product candidates in order to address muscle loss and potentially other comorbidities of obesity, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and liver conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an $80.0 million up-front payment in July 2025. In addition, we are obligated to make additional payments upon achievement of development, regulatory, and sales milestones, as well as a low double-digit royalty on sales.

Our ability to generate profits and to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next several years depends significantly on the success in commercializing EYLEA HD, EYLEA, and Dupixent. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities, and our research and development activities and related costs which are not reimbursed by collaborators are expected to expand and require additional resources. We also expect to incur substantial costs related to the commercialization of our marketed products. Our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the net sales of our products; the scope and progress of our research and development efforts; the timing of certain expenses; the continuation of our collaborations, in particular with Sanofi and Bayer, including our share of collaboration profits from sales of commercialized products and the amount of reimbursement of our research and development expenses that we receive from collaborators; and the amount of income tax expense we incur, which is partly dependent on the profits or losses we earn in each of the countries in which we operate. There is uncertainty surrounding whether or when new products or new indications for marketed products will receive regulatory approval or, if any such approval is received, whether we will be able to successfully commercialize such products and whether or when they may become profitable.

On July 4, 2025, bill H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" or "OBBBA", was signed into law. The OBBBA significantly revises U.S. corporate income tax laws by, among other things, restoring the option for immediate expense recognition for U.S.-based research and development expenditures and making permanent the first-year bonus depreciation on qualified property. The OBBBA also modifies U.S. taxation on foreign earnings by, among other things, changing the tax rates for global intangible low-taxed income (now known as Net CFC Tested Income) and foreign-derived intangible income (now known as foreign-derived deduction eligible income), modifying the allocation of expenses in calculating foreign tax credits, as well as changing foreign tax credit limitations. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our financial statements.
